Clutch Slipping


boom!

Recommended Posts

I noticed today that my clutch has started slipping when accelerating from about 60mph in 4th or 5th gear. My car has 13K miles and I don't ride the clutch. Had anyone experienced clutch failures with this low of mileage?

Definitely! This is a well-documented issue...

Yes.

 

Did you buy the car new or used? If new, did you break in the clutch for the first 500-1000 miles? If used, clearly the original owner did not.

Any mods and good tires will do it. Mine went at 23,000 miles only a few months after I swapped my supercharger! McLeod RXT is the answer
